Installing tinycore on a hard drive

http://blog.matchgenius.com/tiny-core-microcore-install-to-hdd-with-openssh/

make sure that you make the partition bootable
use grub2 instead so that you can boot from an iso later


sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda1

edit the /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg file to look like this:

menuentry "Tinycore 3" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/core.gz
}
